Bugs found in Rocket League Sideswipe for Android
Rocket League Sideswipe is a mobile car soccer game developed by Psyonix, an American video game publisher. The game can be played with friends or other players from around the globe.
Rocket League Sideswipe has combined race cars with action-packed soccer. The vehicles can be customized and upgraded as players progress through the game. One can play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 matches, and the game is suitable both for novices and experienced car soccer players.

Rocket League Sideswipe is an excellent racing arcade game with football, volleyball and basketball elements. Game mechanics worked out perfectly, as well as the visual part. The game has room to grow, for example, to work out more modes, add more variety in customization, and design other types of arenas. But so far it is one of the most convenient and enjoyable sports projects.
